A reoccurring element in my short stories is that while experiencing his strongest emotions a man does not communicate verbally, but instead kinesthetically by touch and action. This is based upon the idea that there are three primary modes of communication: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic.

Masculinizing hormone therapy for female to male trans treatments demonstrate that testosterone suppresses the capacity to verbalize strong emotions while experiencing them. Such conclusions are based upon the self-reporting of before and after behavioral changes. Additionally, former women find that testosterone makes them intolerant of common female verbal verbosity about her feelings.

In my short stories, especially the romantic ones, the male lead becomes increasingly nonverbal during highly emotional scenes and expresses his passionate emotions kinesthetically by touch and action.

Why is this important? When a woman complains that a man does not express their emotions, she often fails to recognize that his emotional communication is nonverbal. Further, a woman’s erroneous expectation that a man can read her mind is likely rooted his capacity for rich nonverbal communication and her limited practice in doing the same. Additionally, when a wife cuts off her husband from physical intimacy, she disables his ability to communicate his strongest emotions to her as they happen.

My stories often express that words as often lies while actions are more often true. Thus, a woman tends to be susceptible to verbal lies of affection from a bad man while being oblivious of nonverbal expressions of caring from a good man.

In these generalizations, I am talking about generalizations based upon central tendencies and distribution of attributes within a group, but neither uniformity nor determinism.
